Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2638908, member: 6761"] Not a robbery, except maybe of UConn's opponents. Last couple of games, I've been struck by the intensive defensive posture (literally) of the Huskies. Even when a Husky is defending way off the ball, her hands are high up. 5 sets of hands up or out--interfering with the passing lanes or sight lines. Watching the OK St-MissSt game right now, I don't see a single pair of hands up except (maybe) the ball defender. Hands up creates maybe a couple of tips or prevents a couple of passes per game. But that's a margin. And with hands extended, Huskies are also on their toes, meaning greater explosion in the other direction on a change of possession. Do you know how hard it is to convince a group of kids to keep their hands up even when they up by 2o or more points? Hours and hours and hours of practice...and not a little bit of yelling..... What a team; what a coaching staff. [/QUOTE]
